I've had an interesting busy Sunday and now that I've stuffed myself with Chinese food and am finally able to relax with a glass of Skinny Girl margarita, I can show you all one of my favorite polishes. I know I use the words "favorite polish" a lot, but I can't help it. As my collection continues to grow more and more out of control, the favorites pile up, and Object of Envy from Color Club is one of the many greens and glitters that make my polish collection a bit brighter.

Color:
A fantastically dense kelly green glitter in a clear base.


Application:
No real issues. It takes 3+ coats for complete opacity but that's alright by me since it has a nice consistency that isn't goopy in the slightest- which is sometimes hard to come by with a dense glitter polish.


Downside:
The main problem is that it remains pliable long after it's dry to the touch, which is typical of this kind of glitter. So don't go loading your dishwasher for a good couple hours after application because you'll just get dents. Other than that it's fine.


Bottom Line:
I love kelly green and glitter. When you combine those 2 things you get Object of Envy. And it's beautiful. It twinkles like hell and it's a color/finish that people definitely notice. And if you're looking for the perfect St Patrick's Day polish- look no further. This is the one.

You can find Object of Envy and most other Color Club polishes for a sweet $3 at 8ty8beauty.com.

Have I told you guys about the nail polish plaza near me? It's got a Five Below, a Dollar Tree, a Bed Bath and Beyond, a Sally's and a TJ Maxx. All in one plaza. I went over there with my mom a few days ago and couldn't find anything to buy (shocking, right?) until I went with my mom through the checkout at TJ Maxx and saw a Color Club Starry Temptress set for $10. 7 Color Clubs for $10? Yes, please.

I was going to swatch them all for you but I know you've seen them all before by now. I'm the one who's late to the Starry Temptress parade. But today I'm wearing Wink Wink Twinkle from the collection and wanted to share. I will warn you though that my camera HATES neons, so not only are these pictures not completely color accurate, they're also not all that sharp.

Color:
Neon purple/fuchsia with holographic glitter. The glitter in this is strange though, because instead of giving off a twinkly effect, it just makes the polish look speckled. I chalk this up to the base color being more of a creme and not a jelly.


Application:
This polish is thick. Much thicker than I anticipated, which turned out to be not such a bad thing. I only needed 2 coats for opacity and that's pretty much unheard of for a neon. Easy to work with but will no doubt need some thinner added to it in the near future.


Downside:
It's gritty. I used 2 coats of Seche Vite on top and it's still not totally smooth.


Bottom Line:
Wink Wink Twinkle and all of the colors from the Starry Temptress collection are really unique. It's not the colors that are original (they're not). It's the weird speckled effect that they have that makes them totally different from anything else I have in my collection. Wink Wink Twinkle is a really pretty color too, although I'm disappointed that it looks a lot more pink in my photos than it actually is. If you can't score a set of these for a cheap price like I did, try buying them at 8ty8beauty.com.

Color Club's Revvvolution is one of my favorite polishes for all of the most obvious reasons. It's a holo. It's a "black" holo. It's a relatively linear holo. And it shines like a million rainbows in the sun. It also makes me think of one of my favorite songs, 12 Black Rainbows by Type O Negative (hey, don't judge me. We all like a little bit of metal).

                                                   Unbridled minds you see are so much worse"





Color: 
A "black" (more like gunmetal) linear holo!


Application:
Almost perfect, except for the fact that it's extremely easy to flood your cuticles with this. Which ultimately means that it's a *tad* watery. Requires 2 coats for complete opacity and dries rather quickly.


Downside:
There are actually 2 versions of Revvvolution out there. One that is full of holoy goodness, and the other which is a supposed "dud". Seeing as I only have 1 bottle of this, I couldn't even tell you which version I have for sure. But I do know that it holo's like the best of them in the sun. Indoors it's not nearly as impressive, but there's still a distinct holo effect going on there.


Bottom Line:
I think the pictures speak for themselves! But it is unfortunate that there's a version of this that isn't as amazing as the other. So with that said, if you decide to buy it online you take the risk of purchasing something that may not be as spectacular as you were hoping for.
